Serials Review, FY16

How to Request Articles From Journals Not Held by WSU Libraries

 
To request articles from journals or monographic serials not held by the University Libraries, WSU faculty, staff, and students already have access to fast retrieval through ILLiad, our online interlibrary loan service. Recently, the University Libraries joined a consortium of North American research libraries participating in a resource sharing system called RapidILL that provides even faster online retrieval of ILLiad article and book requests. Libraries that participate in RapidILL agree to provide 24 hour turnaround time (Monday-Friday) for ILL requests from member libraries. Articles often arrive as email links on the same day or even within a few hours of the request while books are often delivered to the ILL Office via FedEx within 24 hours. WSU faculty and staff are encouraged to logon to ILLiad with their MyWSU ID and password to take advantage of this exciting new ILL service.

Using Current Contents Online to Access Table of Contents of Cancelled Journals

Current Contents Connect (ISI) is a multidisciplinary current awareness resource providing access to complete bibliographic information for over 8000 scholarly journals. CCC can be accessed from the Databases A-Z list or directly at http://libraries.wichita.edu/go.php?c=4197746. There are two ways to access Table of Contents (TOC) for many of the cancelled journals:

1. Simply enter the title of the journal to access a listing of articles by issue, with the most recent issue at the top.   OR
2. If you would like to be alerted when a new TOC is available, Current Contents Connect can be used to set up TOC alerts for many cancelled as well as currently held journals. You can receive email alerts or RSS feeds of the latest TOC for your selected journals. To create journal alerts in Current Contents Connect,

  • Sign in or register in the upper right of the home page.
  • Click on "Saved Searches & Alerts" under "My Tools".
  • Select the middle tab, "Journal Alerts", and add journal titles to your alerts listing.
  • To find a quick list of journals added by clicking on the "My Web of Science" link at the bottom of the home page.

No matter how you access the TOC of journal issues not held by University Libraries in print or online, use the 360 Link attached to each citation to request articles through ILLiad/Interlibrary Loan. The ILL request form will be automatically populated with the citation information from the database.
